Freddie75 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi guys, I'm interested to hear what amps players are using with this particular cab or what they have tried and liked or disliked ' lightweight or heavy. I play funk/dance/soul type stuff with occasional slap. Thanks Freddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I use an Aguilar TH500. They just work so well together, sound great and go as loud as you want. I also use my Thunderfunk at 2.67ohms with the 3 12 rig, CN212 and AE112. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie75 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Cool - I've always fancied the Thunderfunk. Is there a UK supplier? (Thanks Chris). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I thought there was one for sale here..in the classifieds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Harry had a TF550B for sale. I used the 550 for several years before I upgraded to the 750. It was a great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The SWR MM pre amp i run sounds great with the Bergs i have (HD112 & HD210) I'm not selling it anymore, so this isn't self promotion! You are more than welcome to try my SWR out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 On Talkbass the CN212 and the GK MB800 get a lot of good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danweb22 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Aguilar DB751 with mine sounds awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Initally I had an GK Fusion but it didn't do it for me. Then I got a TH500 and all came good. Also use a Mesa Prodigy. which also works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Mesa Prodigy here too and Genz Shuttle and Streamliner. All good! All different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I agree the TH500 does sound great with the CN212. I also found that the Eden WT550 with it's parametric EQ does a great job of being able to dial in a tone that works very well with this cabinet. I also found that the Orange AD200B Mk3 delivers a very sweet tone to the CN212 at moderate volume but weighs more than the cab itself!

leroydiamond Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I recently took delivery of a Kustom KXB500. My intention was to use it as a back up. This amp has had a lot of praise on TB. I have used the CN212 with a variety of micros (Markbass f500, TH500, Puma 900) and the KXB500 is the pick of the crop IMO and cheap as chips. It is simply amazing value. it is now my go to amp. Edited November 2, 2014 by leroydiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I regard the CN series as a slight tweak/upgrade on the AE cabs and the TH works very well with the AE so I'd not be surprised it also fits really well with the CN. I will probably do a jam night tomorrow and the house bass rig is Markbass 112 combo and 112 ext cab. I'll see if I can tweak it a bit but my initial impressions was the TH500/Berg rig has loads more of the character I would look for.. In fact I think I'll put in a TH pedal in front to wash out the MB 'thing' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I use a Tecamp Puma 900 or Streamliner 900 as my amps with Berg CN112 x2. The Puma has recently nudged into top spot but both give excellent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I also liked the GK MB800 with my Berg setup. Not so much the GK MB Fusion 800. The Tecamp Puma 900 won out over the GK MB800 as the GK fans were loud and annoying when practicing at home. The Puma was silent, and still runs cool. I think I probably liked the EQ on the GK a bit better than the Tecamp initially, but the Tecamp Puma has proven itself to me over time. I tend to cut more than boost with it. My playing is finger style funk, jazz, and fusion. Occasional slap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinness21 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The svt-7-pro and pf800 seem pretty similar, which would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I've tried the PF500 a bit and so I think that is very much on the lines of the PF800.... and I think that would definitely be on the list to go with the CN212 and not at all far behind the TH500 as a very good match-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest monsterthompson Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Never tried it, but the Puma seems like a good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepbass5 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Markbass LMK usually gets the gig over the GK MB500fusion. But the Berg does like the valves though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
